About this ebook
A transformative guide to thriving at work in the AI era, revealing how to unlock your potential by working with your brain.
In the modern, tech-driven workplace, we’re all expected to do our best under the same conditions—as if we’re each built for open-plan spaces, endless video meetings, and rapid-fire messaging. The truth is, work isn’t one-size-fits-all: Our brains are wired differently, and what fuels one person can exhaust another. But what if you could approach your tasks in a way that truly suits you?
That’s what it means to work neurosmart. Drawing on decades of research, advising leaders and top organizations, and writing for The Wall Street Journal and the Harvard Business Review, social scientist Alexandra Samuel, PhD, shows how to align your job with the way you’re wired. This shift starts with what Samuel calls neurovariety—the idea that the differences in how we think, perceive, and communicate are powerful advantages.
In Working Neurosmart, Samuel helps you embrace neurovariety with a practical framework for amplifying your strengths and overcoming challenges so you can stop feeling drained by the time you log off. She introduces the Neurosmart Reflector, which gives you a clear picture of your unique traits across five dimensions: Sense, Memorize, Analyze, Regulate, and Translate. That profile is your key to the choosing the science-backed tactics you need to thrive, from boosting focus with “sensory snacks” to improving memory with spaced recall.
Packed with accessible strategies and stories from real-world professionals, Working Neurosmart empowers you to stop fighting your mind and start feeling accomplished, energized, and fulfilled every day.
